What the &^@# is going on with "The Dark Side Club"?

Okay, I read Birds of Prey, and let me just tell you, I was delighted when I saw the writer from Mary Jane was on it. He's not responsible for this month's issue though....a story which features a bunch of gangsters in an undergroud fight club who all have names of various Fourth Worlders. Didn't we just finished Death of the New Gods? DC...what are you doing?

Father's Day


Father's Day in my home goes like this;

Step One : I say don't do anything, we can't afford it, it's not that big a deal.

Step Two : My family ignores my advice and does something anyhow.

My wife was with our two daughters at Wal-Mart gettign diapers. She qswung by the Men's section to get a Shirt form me, something with a clever phrase on it. She found one she liked, and was showing my two year old Maddie. Maddie had other ideas. She marched over to the shelf and pointed.

"Spidey shirt!"

"No honey," My wife said, remembering I have a moratorium on getting superhero shirts. (I have enough to go a month wearing a different one each day and you'd never see the same one twice) "I don't think Daddy wants another Spider-Man shirt. How about this one?"

"No. Spidey shirt!"

"Really honey, how about we look over here?"

"No Mommy! SPIDEY SHIRT!"

So I got a Spider-Man shirt for Father''s day, and Maddie dressed in a little Spidey shirt of her own when we went to Church on Sunday (So we would match).

Now let's see what happens on my birthday.....
